My SuSE 8.2 laptop has 2 network interfaces. A builtin assgined to eth0
and a PCMCIA wireless card. Both are set to acquire IP addresses via
DHCP.
When I have the PCMCIA card plugged in, the routing table does not
include the default route, so I need to add it manually:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
If I execute rcnetwork restart, the routing table is correct, so it
appears to be a problem at boot time. If I remove the PCMCIA card and
replace it, the routing table loses its default route.
I suspect that there is a subtle bug either in
etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-route or
etc/sysconfig/network/ifup-pcmcia-eth
If anyone has an idea, you might save me some work in debugging this.
Note:I have not added any information in YaST/Network Card config/routes
for either card.
